Have Faith In Yourself
Lack of belief in oneself is a killer. It doesn’t help you at all. And you need no one else but yourself to turn things around. Here are a fewencouraging words to help you put a little faith into yourself.
- Think of your dream and imagine yourself reaching that. Always thinking that you’re capable of succeeding can help the thought sink into your subconscious. Remember, failure begins with disbelief.
- Stop thinking of what you can’t do but begin to be think of the things that you can do. Be a “yes” type of person. At least to yourself.

Introduction To Momentum Trading
In momentum trading, traders focus on stocks that are moving significantly in one direction on high volume. Momentum traders may hold their positions for a few minutes, a couple of hours or even the entire length of the trading day, depending on how quickly the stock moves and when it changes direction. Here we take a look at momentum trading, and examine a typical day in the life of this type of active trader. (For background reading, see [i]What technical tools can I use to measure momentum?[/i])

Traders: Work Less, Make More Money
Trading is one area where less work can often mean more money for the trader. Many stock traders spend hours doing research, but is spending this amount of time necessary for the average trader? Hedge fund managers and traders who control a large amount of capital need to do research in order to find high probability places to invest all that capital, but individual traders are far more nimble, and in fact, a lot of research may be a detriment to independent traders. While research can benefit some traders, in many cases there are alternatives. Find out why when it comes to research, less is often...

Let Your Intuition Guide Your Investments
We all rely on intuition to some extent. In our private lives, we don't question it, but in the investment context, it is often frowned upon as somehow irrational and unprofessional. Hard facts are what investment is all about, right?

In fact, one's inner voice, which makes itself heard in so many decision-making processes, is an extremely valuable resource. Particularly in complex investment situations, it is simply impossible to take all factors into account through conventional managerial and analytical processes. Information may be missing or data may be contradictory, or even just...

Trading Is Timing
Trading always comes down to timing. To truly appreciate this, we simply need to note that one of the biggest gains in stock market history occurred on October 19, 1987, during the day of its greatest crash. On that day, stocks had declined a mind-harrowing 23% by the end of the day, but at around 1:30 p.m., they staged a massive rally that saw the Dow Jones and S&P indexes verticalize off the bottom, rising more than 10% before running out of steam and turning down to end the day on the lows.

While most traders that day lost money, those who bought that bottom at 1:30 p.m. and sold...

Jesse Livermore: Lessons From A Legendary Trader
Born in 1877, Jesse Livermore is one of the greatest traders that few people know about. While a book on his life written by Edwin Lefèvre, "Reminiscences of a Stock Operator" (1923), is highly regarded as a must-read for all traders, it deserves more than a passing recommendation. Livermore, who is the author of "How to Trade in Stocks"(1940), was one of the greatest traders of all time. At his peak in 1929, Jesse Livermore was worth $100 million, which in today's dollars roughly equates to $1.5-13 billion, depending on the index used.

The enormity of his success becomes even...

Blending Technical And Fundamental Analysis
People often ask if technical analysis can be used as an effective substitute for fundamental analysis. Although there is no definitive answer whether technical analysis can be used as a whole substitution for fundamental analysis, there is little doubt that combining the strengths of both strategies can help investors better understand the markets and gauge the direction in which their investments might be headed. In this article, we'll look at the pros and cons of technical analysis and the factors that investors should consider when incorporating both strategies into one market outlook.

Market Reversals And How To Spot Them
Traders have an expression for attempting to pick a market top or bottom - they call it trying to catch a falling knife. As the expression implies, it can be downright dangerous and is not normally recommended. But here is a method that may help lower the risk.

Losing To Win
The hardest, but also most important lesson to learn in trading is how to handle losses gracefully. Most traders will inevitably encounter a string of losses at some point, so those who can't lose without being thrown off their game won't survive the market. The traders who have realistic win/loss expectations and a trading system they trust have the best chance of prevailing over tough market conditions. Here we look at what kind of losses traders can expect and how they can adjust their focus and strategy to deal with these losses.

Which Direction Is the Market Heading?
There's no shortage of directional indicators available to an aspiring market technician: moving average ribbons, moving average convergence/divergence and its cousin the MACD histogram, relative performance, the relative strength index; on-balance volume, William's Acc/Dist, and the list goes on and on. But when is it time to use a directional indicator, and conversely, when should technical analysis turn to oscillators like stochastic or Williams %R? The easy and under-used NYSE Bullish Percent Index gives concrete answers to these questions while providing a jumping off point for further, well-directed...

A Look At Exit Strategies
Money management is one of the most important (and least understood) aspects of trading. Many traders, for instance, enter a trade without any kind of exit strategy and are therefore more likely to take premature profits or, worse, run losses. Traders need to understand what exits are available to them and know how to create an exit strategy that will help minimize losses and lock in profits.

Making an Exit
There are obviously only two ways you can get out of a trade: by taking a loss or by making a gain. When talking about exit strategies, we use the terms take-profit...

Scalping: Small Quick Profits Can Add Up
Scalping is a trading style specializing in taking profits on small price changes, generally soon after a trade has been entered and has become profitable. It requires a trader to have a strict exit strategy because one large loss could eliminate the many small gains that the trader has worked to obtain. Having the right tools, such as a live feed, a direct-access broker and the stamina to place many trades is required for this strategy to be successful.

Playing The Gap
Gaps are areas on a chart where the price of a stock (or another financial instrument) moves sharply up or down with little or no trading in between. As a result, the asset's chart shows a "gap" in the normal price pattern. The enterprising trader can interpret and exploit these gaps for profit. Here we'll help you understand how and why gaps occur, and how you can use them to make profitable trades.

Gap Basics
Gaps occur as a result of underlying fundamental or technical factors. For example, if a company's earnings are much higher than expected, the company's...

3 Things Investors Can Learn From Traders
The first rule of investing is buy low and sell high. After all, that's the only way you can actually make any money in the market. Nearly all investors would agree with that idea. But there's another group of market participants that are trying to do the exact same thing - they're just trying to do it in a different time frame and with a different methodology. They're called traders. Generally speaking, investors tend to scoff at traders. However, wise investors may want to take a closer look at some things that traders do well.

Support And Resistance Reversals
Many traders who use technical analysis often hear phrases that suggest a "broken support level will become a future area of resistance" or that a "previous level of resistance will become a support". For beginner traders phrases like this sound like they're spoken in another language, and even many experienced traders never fully understand or appreciate this intriguing role reversal. This article will attempt to shed light on the importance of support and resistance and illustrate why traders should take note when they reverse roles.

Gauging Major Turns With Psychology
"All economic movements, by their very nature, are motivated by crowd psychology." -- Financier Bernard Baruch

At times, a market will appear to move based on fundamentals, while at other times, the same market will move in the opposite direction on the same news! The key to understanding the highest probability move is to understand the psychology associated with that market. You must also understand that markets move in trends but reverse at extreme levels of bullishness (tops) and bearishness (bottoms). This characteristic is best explained through the words of the English...

Multiple Time Frames Can Multiply Returns
In order to consistently make money in the markets, traders need to learn how to identify an underlying trend and trade around it accordingly. Common clichés include: "trade with the trend", "don't fight the tape" and "the trend is your friend".

Trends can be classified as primary, intermediate and short term. However, markets exist in several time frames simultaneously. As such, there can be conflicting trends within a particular stock depending on the time frame being considered. It is not out of the ordinary for a stock to be in a primary uptrend while being mired in intermediate...

The Anatomy Of Trading Breakouts
Breakout trading is used by active investors to take a position within a trend's early stages. Generally speaking, this strategy can be the starting point for major price moves, expansions in volatility and, when managed properly, can offer limited downside risk. Throughout this article, we'll walk you through the anatomy of this trade from start to finish and offer a few ideas to better manage this trading style.

Trading's 6 Biggest Losers
Rogue trading makes headlines. In late 2011 an unauthorized trader lost $2 billion for the Swiss-based bank, USB. The idea of a single person losing millions and occasionally billions of dollars is always interesting, but it is even more so when that person is losing other people's money.

In this article we will look at six of the rogue traders (in no particular order) who became famous for their very public losses.

Buy High, Sell Much Higher
One of the tenets of stock investing that the average investor, as well as the sophisticated day trader, has heard repeatedly is "buy low, sell high". Sounds like a reasonable approach to investing, right?

Unfortunately, it is much more difficult than it seems. This is partly because some rookie investors may equate stock investing with shopping at the mall. If a cashmere sweater costs $250 in December but has been marked down to $50 in July, then it must be a good deal, or have some type of value. Maybe so, but stocks are different. If the price of a stock over the last year...

Why A Falling Stock Is Not Always A Bargain
An old axiom warns investors not to "catch a falling safe", a reference to the fact that a falling stock is not always a bargain. For every solid company whose stock is experiencing a temporary downturn, another is punished by the market for very good reasons and may not recover. To "buy low and sell high" successfully, it makes sense to find undervalued stocks that are trading for less than they should. The trick for investors is separating a temporary stock pullback from a prolonged - and perhaps irreversible - downturn.

Profiting From Panic Selling
Panic selling occurs when a stock price rapidly declines on high volume. This often happens when some event forces investors to re-evaluate the stock's intrinsic value, or when short-term traders are able to force the stock price down far enough to trigger long-term stop-losses. The entire process creates a tremendous opportunity for bottom-fishers to initiate long positions, especially if the event behind the panic selling was non-material or speculative in nature (such as an SEC investigation or an analyst...

The Stock Cycle: What Goes Up Must Come Down

3. Distribution
4. Markdown
A trader must have a strategy to take advantage of price action as it is happening. Understanding the four phases of price will maximize returns because only one of the phases gives the investor optimum profit opportunity in the stock...

Turtle Trading: A Market Legend
Few people associate Eddie Murphy, Dan Ackroyd and the 1983 movie "Trading Places" with one of the greatest trading stories of all time. However, in the same year the movie was released, a real-life experiment along similar lines was carried out by legendary commodity traders Richard Dennis and William Eckhardt. In the end, life imitated art and the experiment proved that anyone can be taught to trade well. (For related reading, see Financial Careers According To Hollywood.)

Short-term trading can be very lucrative, but also risky. It can last for as little as a few minutes to as long as several days.

Traders: Profit From Other Investors' Fear
It can be said that to trade effectively, one has to understand that markets are filled with an extremely large number of market participants, along with their hopes, fears and thoughts - both rational and irrational. As traders, we are ultimately trading people and not stocks. It is people and their thoughts and expectations that push a stock to support and resistance. Fundamentals don't move stocks in the near term, it is people's expectations that do. A stock can have a 3% move in a day without any change in the underlying fundamentals.

How To Break Bad Trading Habits
All traders should have a good trading plan. One of the worst bad habits a trader can have is trading impulsively and without any guidelines. Traders who take the time to make a trading plan are much more likely to succeed, but even with a plan in place we can develop bad habits. A trader will make impulsive trades even with their plan taped to the wall next to them. They may exit winning trades too quickly or let losses go longer than their plan states they should. In this article we will go into how we can change our bad habits. The process involves how we personally view our successes and failures,...

Simple Strategies For Capitalizing On Trends
There are two types of markets in which a trader will trade - a trending market or a sideways market. On any time frame, a trade may be held through both types of market, but it is when the trade is entered and in what type of market (trending or sideways) that determines its level of risk. Risk is simply the amount of price movement we would expect before we can say with some certainty the trade is not moving in our direction (at least for right now), and is moving because of factors beyond simple market noise. (To learn how to trade a sideways market, read Finding Value In A Sideways Market.)...

Momentum is perhaps the simplest and easiest oscillator to understand and use; it is the measurement of the speed or velocity of price changes. In "Technical Analysis of the Financial Markets", John J. Murphy explains:

"Market momentum is measured by continually taking price differences for a fixed time interval. To construct a 10-day momentum line, simply subtract the closing price 10 days ago from the last closing price. This positive or negative value is then plotted around a zero line. The formula for momentum is:

Trade Simple, Trade Smart
We can reduce the amount of time and "homework" it takes to find highly tradable securities by running screens and stock scans but there is still the common problem of making strategies far more complex than they need to be. Complex strategies generally start from a simple strategy which works well for the trader, but then that strategy is tweaked and re-tweaked in an attempt to make it even more profitable.

If this tinkering has worked with some strategies, that's excellent, but it is common for the trader to begin to have too much on their mind; profits cease and the trader ends up...

Catching A Falling Knife: Picking Intraday Turning Points
Trying to pick an intraday top or a bottom in a market move can be dangerous, yet many traders are obsessed with trying to get in right at the bottom and out at the top. A common method is to forecast a bottom, place a bid and then watch in horror as prices continue to plummet, resulting in a larger loss than initially anticipated. Traders can get into emerging trends early and exit near the top, but a prudent strategy requires that we wait for the market to provide us with a signal - a sign that it is reversing - before we enter/exit our position. In this way, we can enter and exit at relatively...

Profit Without Predicting The Market
It is quite common to hear someone say "This stock has got to go up!" or "This stock has got to go down!" In such cases, the trader has made a prediction that the stock should move a certain way based on research or analysis and is ignoring the facts about what the stock's price is saying right now.

Certain strategies require that a price movement is faded (where a position is accumulated as the price moves against the trader), but for most individual traders who have small positions there is little need to fade the market predicting that it will reverse at any moment. Traders, especially...

Introduction To Trading: Scalpers
Generally speaking investors make their money by buying a security and then selling it for a profit at some point down the road.

The typical trader holds a stock no more than a few days, and often trades in and out of stocks several times per day. “Scalpers” are a specific type of short-term trader.
